A project that is part of a vision of sustainable and inclusive development for the city.
In his speech, Ambassador Cheng-hao Hu recalled Taiwan's continued engagement with Haiti. He stressed that this support reflects his country's conviction that « without inclusive social development, there can be no lasting stability ».

For the Northern Departmental Delegate, Marc Présumé, this project is an essential tool to improve public health, create economic opportunities and restore the dignity of women beneficiaries. He encouraged the continuation of tripartite initiatives bringing together Taiwan, the Haitian state and the Town Hall.
The Municipal Commission of Cap-Haitien expressed its gratitude to Taiwan and reaffirmed its commitment to managing the funds rigorously and transparently. The objective is to ensure a real, measurable and sustainable impact on targeted communities.
This support marks an important step forward in efforts to modernize the city, strengthen its living environment and create new opportunities for women. A diplomatic and social gesture that could pave the way for other structuring initiatives.
